Solid Campaigns, Solid RTS gameplay, Solid Graphics, Great AI, and those memorable council meetings... :P Dragon Commander's combination of decent-RTS mechanics with surprisingly entertaining political/RPG elements make it one of the most memorable games of the year- and arguably the best.

The Cartel SHOULD have been franchise suicide. And yet the Call of Juarez yet lingers in the ears for good reason. For a budget FPS, Gunslinger is absolutely stellar with outstanding gunplay, an entertaining story mode, and addicting arcade mode.

MotoGP 13 may not have as much content as many of its car-based contemporaries, but still unquestionably serves as a great motorcycle racing simulation for those interested. The fact that the AI is quite good also helps a lot. :P

Enemy Within is not just a supurb expansion. It's an avatar of the realization of how entertaining Firaxis' take on XCOM is in its own ways. I still feel Firaxis' take on XCOM doesn't do the old games justice- but Enemy Within made me realize it really doesn't have to.
-
Easily one of the best mobile games of the year. This is a beautiful and surprisingly engaging game. When applied right- minimalism sometimes really can work. o_o
-
Even with its bite-sized open world, Blood Dragon offers plenty of value for its price.

Ninjas get to play for free. The surprise spiritual-successor to Dark Sector has extremely solid mechanics to keep you coming back.
-
Arena mode cannot be denied! Hearthstone is already showing potential as an embodiment of something that is simple on the surface, but surprisingly complex at the core.
-
Unquestionably the best game Arcen Games has made since AI War. Bionic Dues was probably the most pleasant unexpected surprise of 2013
-
The antiquated AI is a major buzzkill- but outside of that, Injustice still squeaks onto the list via offerings of plenty of surprisingly accessible content for a fighter.
